I’ve always enjoyed piano pieces that keep me guessing where they’ll go next, and Vasilis Konstantinakos’ “Colours” did exactly that.
The first thing I noticed was how playful the opening sounded. He starts with a quick, repetitive piano melody that almost feels like someone is playing a little game with the keys. The higher notes kept popping up unexpectedly, which gave the music a cheerful, slightly mischievous quality. That pattern had me hooked!
But then Konstantinakos changes things up, and that’s where the piece won me over.
The piano slows down and the notes soften, shifting the mood. I loved how naturally he moved into this section. The lower notes sound warmer, and there’s a gentle sadness to the melody that I wasn’t expecting after such a lively beginning.
I kept thinking about the title while listening. Why “Colours”? Perhaps because he wants us to experience different emotions through the same instrument.
I also liked that he didn’t try to make every moment dramatic. He gives the notes room to breathe, and the quieter passages are just as lovely as the playful ones.
“Colours” is a charming instrumental that I would happily return to. Konstantinakos lets the piano change its personality throughout the piece, almost like a landscape changing colour through the seasons 🙂

I listen, overanalyse, and write about it. The bassline usually gets special treatment.
